I still can't quite find the right music player for SlimBean. I have tried PowerAmp, Google Play, stock Music, WinAmp, DoubleTwist, Songbird and a ton of others. Nothing has everything I need.
I want:
Scrobbling
Utilizes DSP Manager
Plays smoothly (looking at you PowerAmp)
Has a lock screen widget
Doesn't seem like too tall of an order but nothing I have found satisfies all of it. AMP+ is *almost* there but it doesn't use DSP Manager. Any thoughts?
Tried Apollo?
If im not mistaken you can use DSP with power amp , go under settings/audio/advanced/(in poweramp), uncheck dvc control. It should bypass the apps equalizer and DSP will function
Edit : don't think it does jack lol , just tried it but I couldn't see a difference with DSP on or off with the dvc unchecked , sorry for the useless post :beer:

I have tried Apollo and it isn't without it shortcomings (bad interface, horrible album art resolution) but you're right, it does meet my requirements. Maybe I'll give it another shot.
I do love PowerAmp but it performs REALLY poorly on either SlimBean or Franco.Kernel (not sure where the issue is).

I love noozy but its broke like a fat stripper.
If it didn't ALWAYS close randomly for me on 4.2 I'd definitely still be using it. It may work for others though
I found APKs for noozy and Apollo 1.1. Giving them a shot.

Ubermusic and noozy were great suggestions guys, thanks. Like I mentioned, I was able to find a copy of Apollo 1.1 which basically fixed the UI issues I had with 1.0. Right now scrobbling with SLS isn't working, might switch to ScrobbleDroid or try reinstalling. thx again.

I was curious to see everyones music app of choice is? I've tried em all except winamp and slacker radio, but I think I'm gonna go with PlayerPro for a while....I love having the lockscreen widget back!!! (Missed that from using it on MIUI on my OG Evo) Anyways curious to see what everyones app of choice is!
None of the above - jetAudio Basic
I use Amazon MP3 which is not listed above.
Player pro. The gap less playback alone makes it worth using. Also the developer is friendly. We spent about a month fixing the blue tooth track display after I emailed him. I was very impressed at his level of support.

Apollo.. thats where its at
stock TW app. or google play music for my music on cloud.
I like the stock tw music player. Basic, but functional
Sent from my SGH-T769
doubletwist, which isn't listed.
I like the stock on the SIII simply because it has the Cover to Pause feature.
That feature has been awesome to me especially when driving and I have to pause a song, I never have to look at my phone.
I do still like Google Play Music App, gives me access to a bunch of songs that are streaming off my cloud.
If only there was an app that had Cover to pause feature and the ability to stream music off of our Google Music accounts... :cyclops:

I agree 100%, best music player out there imo
Google Music for me
I like doubleTwist since I'm able to sync it with my desktop version and transfer and manage songs just like iTunes.
Hi folks,
Anyone else try JetAudio app for music? I downloaded it today - had been using Poweramp up to this point but I have to say initial impressions is that the sound is very good from JetAudio.. Anyone else try it?
Cheers,
Mick
Jet audio is great, plenty of adjustments available via the equalizer, I'm really impressed.
I agree. It has plenty of features for a free app. Downside of course is battery life. But nonetheless, thank you for pointing me to it.

I think poweramp is best. The dvc is unbeatable and the ui is great and u can also change themes. In jetaudio the 20 band equalizer is sweet but the ui is boring and there aren't a lot of options. Also try player pro.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
It's the best player that I test. I just need a player with a file browser ans userfriendly ui. Very nice app.

The only problem that I have found with Jet Audio and PowerAmp is that they won't detect FLAC files, which makes it pretty useless to use. I usually use Spotify but I do prefer some tracks in FLAC.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
It says "It plays almost any type of digital music files you have (.wav, .mp3, .ogg, .flac, .m4a, .mpc, .tta, .wv, .ape, .mod, .spx and more)..." Not knowing what a FLAC is, I can't say if it actually does.
Just tried Jet, still like N7 Player better. More unique interface, let's you edit tags, replace album art with higher quality, sounds as good, better widgets. I bought Poweramp, but uninstalled, didn't like interface.

What is your favorite music player?
I just flashed AOKP and it does not come with a stock music player so I want to see what others are using and like.
Please mention what ROM you are running and if there are any known issues with the music player.
Thanks
Sent from my SGH-I747 running AOKP using xda app-developers app
Not sure about any S3 roms, but I had an AOKP rom on my GS2 Skyrocket, and DoubleTwist worked amazingly. I like it so much better than the stock MP, and it's free.
Stock ICS on my S3
This [poll] is missing the poll.
Double twist is my favorite and I've tried all of the popular ones.

Neutron MP. It's all about the sound. Horrible UI, but unmatched features and sound quality.

Stock player is not that bad.
Poweramp is average.
Still looking ...

+1 for PowerAmp. I haven't noticed the battery drain, but I wouldn't doubt it. Are you using the EQ settings? That probably uses more battery.
Spotify is another one I use because I'm a subscriber. I like it a lot for the music available, the EQ settings, and the options for download quality.
I am on a AOKP rom right now.
Google Play Music, you can download the APK off XDA. Really nice music player and looks great too, and am also running AOKP.
... ... ...
I am using Jedi rom and seems like awesome beats only works with this fugly Walkman app.
Is awesome beats suppose to work with other players? Maybe even system wide with video apps and youtube?
I would like to use stock music app with it. Is this even possible?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
I have the same issue.... I just flashes the stock Samsung player. (which in my opinion is a million times better) and the beats audio booster does not work with it... It's a shame because the added bass boost + my audio technical ath m50s makes a killer combo.... Does anyone know how to get it to work on the stock player?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, it doesn't seem to work with the Stock Music Player, but it does work with Google music player. You may prefer that to the Walkman app.
I tried awesome beats last night and can't say I'm a fan. The bass boost was horrid, it was way bloated had no definition and sounded awful! At least on my phone.The other settings weren't as bad but still prefer it flat.
Flash Ac!d audio.
I read the thread but it warns not to flash on any rom that has another music app already on it.. What would instructions be to flashing this?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
I wasnt expecting too much from it but actually I liked the bass of it. However that walkman app is pain in the back to navigate or add toba playlist etc...
I tried to freeze music fx hoping awesomebeats might replace it but no chance. Still doesnt work.

Can't say I notice a difference between eargasm and flat (disabled). Enabling Stereo expansion did add a little something though. At least it didn't destroy the audio like "Not-So-Awesome" Beats.
Topic. I'm using the default one for the first time since I've been using Android. On my evo epic 4g and 4g touch I always used player pro but since owning the s3 I don't feel a need to use a after market one unless someone ports over the xperia music player with working widgets.

+1 for poweramp paid. I don't buy many applications but Poweramp was the one of the first i paid for. And I'm soo glad i did.:laugh:
I used the built in player for a few days, but I saw no means to retrieve the correct album art, and lol that annoys me when my music shows the wrong art, so I started using power amp paid version :good:
Now you guys wouldn't happen to be the developers of this app hmmmmm? lol

This kinda moves the original question into another area, but how do you keep the ring tones saved on your phone from being played via the music player? I'm at the point now that I do not save music on my phone. I just stream it from my cloud. Thanks.

Most music players allow you to select which folders to add to your music library. Although others scan the entire device for sound files.
I like the option of storing files local. Works great for subways and airplanes.

I've been playing around with Music Player (remix) lately. Its still fairly new on the Android platform and the dev has some bugs to iron out, but the menu system is incredible. Almost everything is accessible from swipes left, right, up. $5 is a bit steep, try out the demo you might just fall in love with it.
